adannaya

i ran my fingers through your ringlets
you looked at me with your father’s eyes
knowing I had to field a life of prejudice
but I knew how to protect you from a life of my own
I’m sorry it had to end this way
I know you’ll return when the moon shifts
Things weren’t right with your dad and I
It wouldn’t be right to invite you here
Not being able to give you the best I could
Nothing less than you deserved
I could’ve taken my chances
But im working on life for you
I’m building this house for you
When your soul returns to my body again

I’ll be ready
I promise
